They were brought together at the Regional Inflation Control Team\n(TPID) Coordination Meeting and Intra-Provincial Inter-Regional Business\nCooperation (KAD) event at the Gradhika Bhakti Praja building, Semarang,\ntoday. The event was also attended by Central Java Governor Ahmad\nLuthfi, Head of the Bank Indonesia Representative Office for Central\nJava M Nur Nugroho, and regents\/mayors from across Central Java.<\/p>\n
Ahmad Luthfi stated that the event was an important step for\ncontrolling inflation in his region. He assessed that the inflation\ncondition in his region was relatively good and therefore needed to be\nmaintained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hope is for cooperation among regents\/mayors, producers, and\nexisting offtakers, so that the availability and affordability of\nessential staples for the public are controlled; the output is that\ninflation in Central Java can be maintained,\u201d said Ahmad Luthfi in a\nwritten statement on Wednesday (10\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
Luthfi conveyed that Central Java is one of the national food barns.\nTherefore, every food production must first meet the needs of the people\nof Central Java before fulfilling the needs of other provinces. \u201cOne of\nthe ways is to streamline inter-regional food distribution through\nagglomeration and inter-regional cooperation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of the Bank Indonesia Representative Office for\nCentral Java, M Nur Nugroho, stated that this event was a joint effort\nto strengthen food price stability and resilience as proclaimed in the\nMovement for Inflation Control and Prosperous Food (GPIPS). \u201cWhat we are\ndoing today is part of that distribution efficiency. We are trying to\nbring together staple food producers with offtakers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Through this business meeting, the hope is that offtakers can collect\nfood items produced by the producers to be marketed within the Central\nJava region. The aim, of course, is to make food prices more\ncontrollable. From the business meeting, the most sought-after\ncommodities included rice with 30 interested parties, cooking oil 24,\nchilli 25, shallots 13, maize 4, and eggs 3.<\/p>\n
From the producer side, the largest supply came from chilli\ncommodities, attended by 33 producers, rice 28 producers, maize 25\nproducers, shallots 20 producers, chicken eggs 4 producers, and cooking\noil 2 producers. \u201cHopefully, from this meeting between producers and\nofftakers, transactions or commitments for trade cooperation will be\nachieved. To support that, we have also created a database so that\ncoordination with the TPID can be more optimal,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Regionally, several areas also showed quite high transaction\npotential from the offtaker side. Klaten Regency and Semarang City were\nrecorded as having the greatest potential need for cooperation, with a\ntotal of 11 potential cooperations. \u201cBanjarnegara, Banyumas, Kendal, and\nWonosobo each have 7 potential cooperations. From the producer side,\nDemak and Grobogan Regencies each have 9 potential cooperations, while\nBatang and Brebes Regencies each have 7 potential cooperations,\u201d he\nconcluded.<\/p>\n
As additional information, during the activity, a cooperation\nagreement was also signed between the Farmers\u2019 Enterprise (BUMP) PT\nKalingga Makmur Sejahtera of Jepara Regency and the Karya Manunggal\nFarmers Group Association (Gapoktan) of Rembang Regency for the rice\ncommodity. Then, inter-regional cooperation in the Greater Banyumas area\nwas also signed for chilli, rice, maize, shallots, and cooking oil\ncommodities.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/central-java-government-brings-together-111-producers-and-99-buyers-to-control-inflation-1781078550", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
